Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher

Is there any way to use my (3) new 4" H-T pads with the flex.
I bought the Griots and also bought a small backing plate with a few small pads but I am probably going to move up to the Flex. Is there any kind of adapter to use small pads with the flex? I'm pretty sure there are not but I though it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks,

A flex 3403 to go with your 3401. :) I asked Dwayne at AG when trying to get all my combinations sorted out and was told there wasn't one he knew of.

This lets you work with 4 inch pads but only the double sided version

Arrrg, I'm starting to think when you buy a machine, it's just a down payment on pads.

I guess my misunderstanding was there isn't a backing plate for the Lake Country Hook & loop style pads I have.

Thanks for the correction Edge.

Hi i already have the Edge flex 3401 adapter and an assortment of the 4" pads to go with it. Can this adapter be used so that I may also use the larger 6
' Edge pads as well. Are the 6" Edge pads double sided?

The adapter is standard for all edge pads.
:iagree:

The larger Edge pads are 6" and then the even larger pads are 8" I believe.
